Maximize your time on the bike with Cog Wild’s mountain bike shuttles to the popular trailheads near Bend, Oregon. Operating from mid May until the end of October, the shuttles depart multiple times per day. Starting in June, 2026 we’re adding shuttle service from Sunriver to Wanoga Sno Park.
Guide or rescue service is not included with the shuttle; riders need to be self sufficient. Shuttlers are advised to carry a map, a charged cell phone, tools for trailside bike repairs, a first aid kit, clothing appropriate for the weather and enough food and water to support themselves for a day on trail.
Daily Mountain Bike Shuttles in Bend
Pick up:
Choose from one of two pick up locations:
- Cog Wild’s Main Office: Meet the shuttle at 115 SW Columbia Ave. Park at the Bend Park and Ride and walk/ ride across the street to the shuttle. The driver can provide input on routes. This is the best option for clients with bike rentals or local riders and tourists with accommodations near downtown and the Old Mill District.
- Trailhead Lodge: Request a shuttle pickup at Trailhead Lodge (19221 SW Century Drive) at least 2 hours in advance. The shuttle departs from Cog Wild’s main office and will swing into the Lodge 10 minutes after the scheduled departure time. Be ready to ride and meet near the the bike wash station.
The shuttle stops at three trailheads:
Cog wild shuttles travel west on the Cascade Lakes Highway to Wanoga, Swampy or Dutchman Trailheads. From the trailhead, choose your own adventure on singletrack back to where you began.
Wanoga
Wanoga is the lowest elevation trailhead and typically opens in mid May. These blue and black trails can be challenging for newer or younger riders.
Swampy Lakes
Swampy Lakes is slightly higher than Wanoga and tends to open in June. The mixed use trails are generally less technical and not purpose built.
Dutchman Flat
Dutchman is the highest elevation trailhead, it opens in mid July once the snow melts off the trails. Please stay off middle Flagline Trail until August 15 to give the elk ample time to raise their babies.
Wanoga Hot Laps
On select Saturdays, ride continual laps on Funner, Tylers and Tiddlywinks Trails with shuttle support from Green Gate TH to Wanoga Sno Park.
Sunriver Mountain Bike Shuttle
The Sunriver shuttle is done for the 2026 season call to open a shuttle for a group of 5 or more riders.
